2. Attach the hot water hose to the washer's hot water inlet
valve. Screw on coupling by hand until it is seated on the
washer.
3. Using pliers, tighten the couplings with an additional
two-thirds turn.
NOTE: Do not overtighten. Damage to the valve can result.
4. Turn on the water faucets completely and check for leaks.
NOTE: Replace inlet hoses after 5 years of use to reduce the risk
of hose failure. Record hose installation or replacement dates on
the hoses for future reference.
Periodically inspect and replace hoses if bulges, kinks, cuts,
wear, or leaks are found.

3. Once the drain hose is in place, release the pliers.
4. The washer drain system can be installed using a floor drain,
wall standpipe, floor standpipe, or laundry tub.
Laundry tub drain or standpipe drain
Connect the drain hose form to the corrugated drain hose.
Snap either end of the drain hose form to the drain hose at the
point where the corrugation begins.
Bend drain hose over drain hose form and snap into place.
NOTE: Hose must not extend more than 1" (25 mm) past the end
of the U bend.
To keep drain water from going back into the washer:
■ Do not straighten the drain hose, do not force excess drain
hose into standpipe. Hose should be secure but loose enough
to provide a gap for air.
■ Do not lay excess hose on the bottom of the laundry tub.
Floor drain
You may need additional parts. See the "Alternate Parts" section.
Secure Drain Hose
1. Drape the power cord over the washer top.
2. Move the washer to its final location.
3. Place the drain hose in the laundry tub or standpipe as
shown.
